  1. Violent robbery, and violence for other reasons, occurs all over the world. In this case, however, I doubt the foreigner would be attacked unless he had done something to cause it.
  2. Neither untouchable nor teflon. He was forced to flee Thailand for many years, and may yet have to do so again. He is loathed by many powerful people here
  3. First came to Thailand in 1962. Married a lovely Thai lady in 1990. We are still together, and very happy. Not leaving.
  4. Sore winners ? That's a new one. Soreness is only felt by losers
  5. Well said. A starting point would be for both main parties to agree on oath not to appoint as leader anyone who is less than fully fit both mentally and physically after a proper medical examination.
  6. Have you experienced FASCISM in your lifetime ? For those that have it's not a word to be used lightly.
  7. I beg to differ. Have a nice day.
  8. Say nothing. None of your business. That's assuming this is not fake news...
  9. A classic example of how to complicate a simple issue.
  10. If online is difficult for you either go in person or apply by mail.
  11. Point 3 also.
  12. Most people will look after their tax affairs in due time. They don't need advice from expat tax 'advisors' grubbing about for business.
  13. Excellent info and advice for users.
  14. Trump did indeed refer to dogs and cats which are, sadly, eaten in Haiti, and in several other countries around the world.
  15. I would like to see Farage incentivised to resign his seat in the UK parliament and accept an appointment as the UK's ambassador in the USA, replacing Karen Pierce who has already served a four year term there.
  16. In Eastern Ukraine Russian speakers not only seem to want to be a part of Russia, it is their fervent wish. Never forget that Ukraine has traditionally been governed in a corrupt and brutal manner.
  17. I rather doubt the python will be 'safely returned to the wild'.
  18. Drug wars are a waste of time, money and lives. Way better to regulate and tax.
  19. As some older Brits may remember, Mandy-Rice Davis once famously said in court, after a bishop with whom she was sexually engaged expired during intercourse, 'i thought he was coming, but he was going '.
  20. Yes you did, and you were wrong. Up until the current elections Democrats held 51 seats in the Senate. Who will control in the lower house, however, is still unclear.
  21. Regarding all the celebrities who said they would leave the USA in the event of a Trump win please don't come anywhere near Thailand, where I live, or the UK, my home country. We have enough pollution already.
  22. Confirmed, in the USA, Republicans have gained control of the Senate.
